Brillantes said the Comelec en banc decided to deny the request for accreditation of the 12 groups, whose nominees include former Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Alma De Leon, former Transportation Secretary Pantaleon Alvarez and former Iloilo Rep. Rolex Suplico.

“This is an automatic review of the groups that passed in the division level. They were denied due to various reasons,” Brillantes said.
